Say It Ain't So, Joe - Murray Head, Tommy Körberg & Elaine Paige

You tell me to find somebody new That you're not for me I'm not for you It don't matter if you're right or wrong It ain't no big thing just say, "So long" It's been fun and laughter all the way I will live to love another day I will be alright, can't you tell? It ain't no big thing just say, "Farewell" It ain't no big thing, I won't be blue Just so you're happy and your dreams come true It ain't no big thing, my losing you Just ain't no big thing, I'll get over you It ain't no big thing to see you go It ain't no big thing that you don't know It ain't no big thing I've been lying It ain't no big thing that I'm crying It ain't no big thing that I'm dying

Here on this night so silent I pray to heaven to bring you home Snowflakes have turned to rain Rafters defrost on my window pane Can you hear the children carol? Singing songs of joy but not for me Pierced through my heart like an arrow Holiday pictures of you and me Come to the tree We can light this night together Just you and me The way it used to be It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you, without you So hard to, if I had a thing to say It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you, I pray Pray that you'll be the gift the angels bring Guilt follows me like a shadow If given the future, the past I'd change Your gentle touch, it stays with me The love you gave was so unique The way you care, the love we share Even now I can see you standing there I see the ghost of Christmas all around Your smiling face, I like this happy sound Oh girl, come to the tree We can light this night together Just you and me The way it used to be It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you, without you So hard to, if I had a thing to say It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you, oh, baby Pray that you'd be the gift the angels bring No mistletoe, no midnight low, so crazy Living here without you in my life No eggnog toast, no cuddles close by the fire Without you I always spill a tear No sharing gifts, no snow bound trips, so crazy Living here without you in my life No reason to shop, no end, no top by the fire Without you I always spill a tear Just you and me The way it used to be It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you So hard to, if I had a thing to say It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you I don't wanna be home without you Pray that you'd be the gift the angels bring I pray, I pray, I pray If I'm sitting home, yeah, yeah It ain't Christmas If I sit at home without you Pray that you'd be the gift the angels bring

Never even thought it could happen to me Maybe I've been blind only others can see I'm in love What am I to do can I let it show Do I keep it to myself or should I let her know I'm in love Do I nurse it in my heart hold it back in my eyes Hide it all inside or put on a disguise I'm in love Have I gotta play games Even suffer the pain Let the secret out Even suffer the doubt I'm in love I know it's all there I really want to share My life with someone else Will she feel the same Never even thought it could happen to me Maybe I've been blind only others can see I'm in love What am I to do can I let it show Do I keep it to myself or should I let her know I'm in love Isn't so easy when you've been broken before But it isn't so hard when you're ready for more Could you love me Give me a simple clue anything will do So long as I know what's in me is in you Could you love me I've got so much of care to give away There's only one thing I wanna hear you say I love you Have I gotta play games Even suffer the pain Let the secret out Even suffer the doubt I'm in love I know it's all there I really wanna share My life with someone else Will she feel the same

Do you ever get that feeling People closing doors behind you All alone again, surrounded By the normal things you do Like a rabbit in the headlights, You get rooted to the spot Now they baffle you with choices Will they leave you here to rot? Corporation corridors, How I wonder what's in store for me. Corporation corridors, Help me find an open door Believe in me, I'll play your game Please don't ignore me or my name Do you ever get that feeling People running scared around you Sacrificing their opinions For the uniform they wear Corporation pays the mortgage, Telephone and shiny car Sell your morals for promotion, Pass the buck and you'll go far How I wonder what's in store for me Corporation corridors, Devoted I'll obey your laws Grant me my security A corporate identity and I'm yours I'm yours You're the answer to my problems Can you help me run my life and find some friends Do you ever get that feeling People making out they like you All the time they're busy working On the plan to run you through If you really want to beat them You can do it through the system Secret lies in infiltration, Anonymity's the clue Make a point in being faceless Keep your instinct well alive Making sure you leave no traces And you won't tell any lies Come and join the corporation now Step into the corridor ["Come on"?] knocking at the station now Welcome 1984

Climb the rigging and haul the ropes Hoist and unfurl the dusty sail Winds are singing, we're bound for hope It is impossible to fail Flesh is willing and dreams will soar When we sight the distant shore Hold on fast to the skies Smell the spray in your eyes Know the albatross that cries is just a friend Glide our weary pain-laden souls Over hollowed heaving waves Weigh our bodies down with salt Every hallowed heathen sways There is hope to guide us there There is love to make us one Light our path to the sun Till our everlasting search is at an end.
